As Dieter also pointed out, I obviously made a mistake in assuming that
I knew what 'FileNotFound' was referring to.

However, it strikes me as not immediately obvious that the logging file
must exist at this point.  I can imagine a situation in which I want to
configure a default log file and create it if it missing.
